Best Buy Sale Information

Ad Scan: The 2019 114-page ad scan was released very early in the morning on November 7. Like 2018, we have an online version of the ad, as opposed to the printed/catalog version that gets sent to your home.

Sale Start Date/Time: The 2019 sale will begin at 5 p.m. on Thanksgiving and last until 1.am. on Friday morning. It will open back up at 8 a.m. on Black Friday for more doorbusters. This is the exact same format they have used in previous years, and we expect it to continue in the future. Some online sales are available now through Black Friday.

Sale Format: Best Buy's sale is always online and in the stores. The online portion of the sale runs all day Thursday and Friday with some specific online-only doorbusters as well as in-store only doorbusters. As usual, the ad is heavily focused on HDTVs. Additionally, you can find the Xbox One X, Samsung Galaxy phones, iPhones, and much more.

Special Promotions: Best Buy has heavily discounted a wide selection of Nintendo Switch games this year and has several other popular titles for Xbox One and Playstation 4 on sale.

Best Buy Black Friday 2019 Shopping Tips

No Free Shipping Minimum: As it has done in previous years, expect Best Buy to offer free shipping on all orders with no minimum purchase requirement for the duration of the holiday season. This is important for smaller purchases that are often cheaper than $25 or $35, including movies, music, accessories, phone cases, computer parts, and cables. Paying shipping charges during Black Friday can severely eat into otherwise great savings, so you will not have to worry about that at Best Buy for any order.

Best Buy's In-Store Sale Starts on Thanksgiving: Out of the three major in-store Black Friday retailers, Best Buy opens earlier than Walmart and Target on Thanksgiving Day. Its traditional opening time is 5 pm, which is an hour earlier than the 6 pm time that Walmart and Target appear to have settled into. While many of the top deals will also be available online, Best Buy still routinely offers a few amazing in-store only doorbusters that may be worth camping out to get.

Best Buy is the Best Place to Buy a TV on Black Friday: While Amazon usually offers the cheapest TV deals, Best Buy offers the best overall deals. Last year, it featured a Sharp 50-inch 4K TV for only $179.99. For 2018, we think it offers a 55-inch 4K TV from a premium brand for only $245.

Best Buy's Ad Leak Should Comes Late at Night: As the other major retailers do, Best Buy waits until very late at night to release its Black Friday ad. Even after we post the ad, there is usually a separate print version with more deals that comes a bit later. Regardless, the version we post during the second week of November this year should have the majority of deals.
